Dec. 7th, 2024 12:53 pmI'm reading Who Owns History: Elgin's Loot and the Case for Returning Plundered Treasure by Geoffrey Robertson. I wrote a paper about the Parthenon Marbles back in the day so I'm always interested in reading new books about it. (This one came out in 2019). So far I'm not finding it very interesting. It's not a bad book but doesn't seem to have anything new to say.
(My favorite book about the marbles is The Parthenon by Mary Beard).
I stole* my parents Addams Family DVDs (the 1964-1966 TV show) and am enjoying watching those. I know Wednesday in recent years got her own TV show, but the focus on the 1960s show is clearly more on the adults, especially Morticia and Gomez.
*My mother has made it clear to me that I can take any DVDs from their house I want since they no longer have a DVD player, while my father said, when I told him I was taking the DVDs, "I know you'll bring them back!" I have no intention to being them back so I think this can be described as a theft. Maybe if they get a DVD player I'll bring them back, but I don't think they have any such plans.
